The prize pool for The International 2024 could shock Dota 2 players and fans

Notably, with less than a month until the championship, Valve has yet to release a Battle Pass or Compendium for prize pool contributions.

On Reddit, discussions are gaining traction where fans are expressing worry about the situation and the lack of excitement surrounding the upcoming tournament.

Players have asked themselves why TI13 was coming in less than a month with minimal interests being shown in it and no hype created by Valve. Fans worry that without a Battle Pass, The International 2024 could have one of the smallest prize funds ever seen in its history.

Others bemoan that absence of Battle Pass has caused decline in popularity for World Championships. Last year’s tournament had considerably lower prize fund compared to Riad Master.

Valve, finally announced The International 2024’s prize pool which is $1,600,000 like last year. Nonetheless there is no news about an increase in price money despite that fact that competition starts soon.
